Occlusion

Pneumatic cuffs with a pressure gauge, so you train at a measured restriction instead of guessing with elastic. BFR training lets you build size and strength with 20–30% of your max load. That's useful when joints, travel or rehab mean you can't go heavy.

• Gauge-controlled pneumatic pressure
• Hypertrophy at 20–30% 1RM
• Quick-release valve

Use 40–80% of limb occlusion pressure. Four sets of 30-15-15-15 reps at 20–30% of 1RM, with 30–60 s rest. Seek guidance from a qualified professional before starting.

Low-load training with blood flow restriction produces muscle growth comparable to high-load training and meaningful strength gains. It's widely used in rehabilitation. Methodology and safety screening matter.

Not suitable if you have a history of blood clots, vascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or are pregnant. Consult a medical professional before use.
